A Poet Should Be Poem by Randy Resh

A Poet Should Be

Rating: 5.0


POET SHOULD BE

A poet should be romantic as spring
chocolate and cherry
mellifluous honey
drinking day-lit blossoming

Yet a poet should be
suspicious jaded wary
deepest indigo sour wine poison
ice blister winter night scathing

A poet should be loving
beyond bewildering
passion devoted zealously

A poet should be spiteful
boisterous unbecoming
belligerent as unseemly

A poet should ever enjoin
engage the most respected
gentle reader
emphatic empathic
paving pathos

utterly uttering verily

Some striking lines! You confound expectations, Randy! Yes, a poet should be spiteful boisterous unseemly - in other words, a real human being with all the faults and some of the glory! Cheers, Michael
